16. Most worries don't pan out

Tue Dec 7, 2021, 06:53 PM

Dec 2021

It's the other things we didn't see that surprise. I have every worry in the book. I don't know if I need a shrink, a lawyer, a guru. I don't know what to do most days. But I did learn to micromanage everything. Each movement, each mile, each trip to the fridge. Make sure it provides good benefit at good value. Then you can face the bigger issues on solid ground.
